Daimiel is a town in Ciudad Real province, Castile-La Mancha, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities it resorted to printing its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coins vanished from circulation almost overnight — hoarded, melted, or simply consumed by a wartime economy running on distrust. These local issues, collectively called "moneda local de necesidad," were authorised under Republican decree but executed with wildly varying quality and oversight at the town level.
The Gari Morancho catalogue remains the primary reference for these municipal issues. Daimiel's series is not among the rarer catalogued examples, but attrition was high — most circulated hard and briefly before being demonetised.
